A woman whose house was set on fire has no recollection of the night it happened, an attempted murder trial has heard today.

Susan Waring, 44, gave evidence at High Court in Glasgow, where Liam McCafferty is on trial for attempting to murder her on July 24 and 25 last year at her house in Redburn, Alexandria.

McCafferty, also known as Gallacher, is accused of knowing Miss Waring was inside and placing a shoe rack, coat stand and television behind the door to stop the door from being opened, and wilfully setting fire to a fridge, curtains and clothing.

Miss Waring was shown photographs of the damage to her home and asked about what happened, to which she replied she “must have left her door open” because people were in her house drinking but she had “too much” and can’t remember.

McCafferty faces a second charge of sending messages to another woman and threatening her with violence and making abusive and offensive remarks between July 26 and August 1, 2017.

In evidence Miss Waring said she was in her bedroom drinking but is unsure who else was there.

She was asked how other people got in and said: “I must’ve left my door open and they came in.”

Advocate depute Stephen McCloy asked how much she had to drink and she said: “Too much, too much to drink.”

Mr McCloy asked: “Do you have any recollection of what was happening that night, 24th?”

She answered: “No, I don’t have no recollection of any of that evening.”

Miss Waring was asked: “Do you know who set fire to your house that night?”

She replied: “No.”

She also confirmed she was clear that she did not set fire to the house.

When asked by defence counsel Sean Templeton what her last memory was, she said: “I don't even have any of that night.”

McCafferty denies the charges and the trial before judge Lord Boyd continues.
